PRIMOS TURKEY CHOKES
 
I have a Remington 870 Super-Mag, and will be using Federal 3 1/2" premium mag-shok #5 Heavyweight shells. I have been looking for a compatible choke, thats not gonna kill me in wallet department. I have seen Primos tightwad chokes for sale a lot of places, but havnt been able to find any reviews on them, any comments?

ALSO>> Anyone know where you can buy these shells (other than Gander Mountain) for less than $25.00 for a box of ten?
THANKS!!

Your not going to find a box of heavy weights for much less than that. I know I've been trying.

I'm not trying to be a smart-butt here, but it seems your really going about this thing a little backwards. Pick a choke and then pattern different shells till you find one that works best. Otherwise you're going to be spending a ton of money on chokes until you find one that works.

I do use the Jellyhead in my 870 and with Nitros and the new Win. Extendeds it is downright nasty out to 45+.

The reason that I'm doing it this way is because I have done a bunch of research on the balistics data, material that the shot is made, powder types, barrell speeds, and down field energy, and really liked the data I found n this particular shell. I have previousley used lead shot, but about an hour after I bought these shells, I remembered......... Current choke is for LEAD ONLY. Sucks to be me, but now after research on shells, I am in need of a choke. Might be the more expensive way to go, but the way that I'm stuck with now, bought a lot of shells.

Guess that makes sense....I hope you find a good one on your first try!

Good luck.:)

You can't shoot the new Federal Heavyweights through a lead only choke? I heard it was soft enough and was comprised of several different metals. Maybe not I guess.

RE: PRIMOS TURKEY CHOKES
 
The only thing you can shoot through a lead choke is lead, EVERYTHING else is to hard, whether it's steel, or some tungsten matrix blend, there is absolutley NO heavyshot that can be sot through a LEAD ONLY choke.

The are comprised of two differant metals though, Federal uses a Tungston-iron blend

I've got a Jellyhead tube you can try if you like. I bought it last year for my 870 but my kicks tubes threw a better pattern that what the Hevi-shot did. I'd could send it to you to try and if you like it, you can make me an offer as to what you think it's worth to you.

I have a JellyHead that I took out and patterned twice out of my 870 and I didn't like the patterns. I ended up buying a Rhino choke and Nitro ammo. I won't be needing the JellyHead. If you are intrested in it shoot me a pm.

I have an 870 super mag and I have found that #4s flies best out of my jellyhead choke than the Undertaker and factory extra full Rem choke. I really like the jellyhead. Goodluck to you this season!!!

RE: PRIMOS TURKEY CHOKES
 
Thanks for the offers!! I purchased the 'tight wad' and the patterns are awesome!! 50 yards, and 'kill zone' yielded 20 - 25 bb's on all 5 shots! Thats impressive enough for me, guess even after going about the whole thing backwards, it ended up ok. Thanks again for all the help and the offers!

i have the jelly head for my moss 835 ulti-mag and i shot it last week with new federal hvywts, and rem hevi shot. all were #5 shot and 3 and 3-1/2" mags.

It completely destroyed the turkeyhead and neck on target at 30 with all three loads. At 40 yds, between 28-45 in vital areas with all three. I'm good to go..

New fed heavyweights kicked like a mule compared to the rem hevi-shot in 3-1/2".
